Sadly, we have no choice but to prepare…

Our staffer @chloecheung.bsky.social reacts to today's U.K. govt decision to approve #China's mega-embassy at Royal Mint Court in #London: “I’m deeply angry & disappointed at the government’s decision to ignore the opposition of so many..." Full statement: thecfhk.org/cfhk-foundat...

A vulgar and explicit threat against Canada this morning. Canadians must prepare now to defend our nationhood and sovereignty.

"Missile and drone barrage unleashed on Kyiv comes hours after Donald Trump invited Vladimir Putin to join his 'Board of Peace'"- FT

It’s 5:40 a.m. in Ukraine. We’ve just learned that russia has likely launched cruise missiles. They’re expected to reach us within an hour or two. It’s going to be one hell of a morning.

China has quietly mobilized thousands of its fishing vessels twice in recent weeks to form massive floating barriers of at least 200 miles long, showing a new level of coordination that could give Beijing more ways to impose control in contested seas - NYT.

The city of Kharkiv is currently under Russian ballistic missile attack.

Russians proudly drive through Ukraine’s town of Vuhledar, surveying graves and ruins. This was once a town of 15,000.

2026 is going to be a very dark year for US foreign policy, where everything that was built over many decades by leaders for collective security is torn apart by one madman, but only because people in his own party remain silent.

Pu’s naked imperial expansion has let this genie out of the bottle. « Normal US » under Biden and Europe failed to stop Ru in Ukraine to show conquest is unacceptable; the current « peace talks » imply Ru will keep some of its « new territories » . It feeds Trump’s Pu-envy and normalizes conquest.

Every time someone says "well, it's not an absurd idea," they're normalizing an absurd idea. We have everything we want from Greenland, and Trump isn't thinking about strategy, he's thinking about vanity and conquest.

The dude who posts dove emojis with every tweet is giddy about new potential conquests.

2026 is seeing that the U.S. Army is mobilizing a unit specialized for winter conditions, but not knowing if the intended mission is violent repression of an American city or stealing territory from a U.S. treaty ally.

Zelensky thanked crews restoring power after Russian strikes, noting over 1,300 drones hit Ukraine this week. He urged allies to send more air defense missiles, saying the world must act decisively as Russia prolongs the war. #UkraineWar

⚡️ Russian attacks kill 5, injure 30 across Ukraine as Moscow again targets energy infrastructure. Ukraine's Air Force reported that it had shot down 167 out of 201 drones Russia launched overnight.

1/ 30 years ago, Russian law enforcement agents started wearing masks to carry out their duties. It soon became a standard tactic to intimidate and extort those seen as opponents of the regime, and became known in Russian as a 'mask show'. ⬇️

Kharkiv today. Russia continues to destroy our critical infrastructure.

"We'll invade you to protect and liberate you" is what Pu said to Ukr. Ru often insists it's the only guarantor of Ukrainian sovereignty. Now Trump is walking in Pu's footsteps by saying the only way Greenland can be sovereign/protected is by being taken over by the US. Surreal Ru-US convergence!

Roger Waters tells Piers Morgan the Iranian police is defending shop keepers from violent thugs. A new set of people are finding out Waters is a vile idiot who always apologizes for non-Western dictatorships and deserves nothing but contempt. No one should be asking him about his political opinions.

Russia’s MFA falsely claims NATO is “fueling tensions” in the Arctic a familiar tactical narrative used to blame @NATO while masking Moscow’s own dramatic military buildup + Arctic imperial ambitions. Expect more of this in the coming months. disinfowatch.org/disinfo/russ...

RT is falsely claiming that Canada will declare war on the U.S. over Greenland, allegedly citing PM Mark Carney. This is entirely fabricated. Canada supports Greenland’s sovereignty through diplomacy and not war. It's designed to divide allies and incite panic. disinfowatch.org/disinfo/rt-f...

Kharkiv was hit by up to seven Russian missiles, damaging a key energy facility that supplies heat and power, Mayor Terekhov said. The city’s energy system is now under severe pressure.

Russia continues its energy genocide. Today, as a result of a nighttime attack by Russia, 56,000 families in the Bucha district of the Kyiv region were left without electricity Last night, an enemy drone struck energy infrastructure again, leaving more than half of the city of Irpin without power.

1/ Donald Trump isn't the first person to be given someone else's Nobel Prize medal. The last recipient of an unearned Nobel medal was none other than Nazi propaganda chief Joseph Goebbels, at the instigation of Norwegian author Knut Hamsun. ⬇️

French-Ukrainian singer Paul Manandise: "Leaders of Europe,I’m addressing you from Kyiv.At the same time,I’m addressing you from the depths of my European heart What Putin is doing isn’t a 'military' operation. It’s a war of terror,a policy of annihilation.He wants to break a people-the Ukrainians"

Several loud explosions in Kharkiv ‼️ the city is under russian attack right now ‼️

Literally begging for help to save civilian lives from being murdered while Trump blames Ukraine, threatens Greenland, plays golf for the next 4 days, and Witkoff and Kushner negotiate deals with Putin.

In Nikopol today russian terrorists killed two women by shelling the city with artillery. 🕯️ Hanna Balva, 42, worked as a conductor on the Nikopol–Kryvyi Rih electric train. She leaves behind a daughter and a son…

Russia is targeting Ukraine’s energy infrastructure and residential buildings. People are sitting in -20°C without electricity, water, or heating. Pipes are bursting. Homes are freezing. Trump: “UKRAINE AND ZELENSKY DON’T WANT PEACE.” What the actual f*ck.

Russian forces keep bombing Dobropillia in Donetsk region, reducing the town to ruins. Continuous airstrikes have destroyed homes and infrastructure in yet another attack on eastern Ukraine. #Ukraine

The former Prime Minister of Finland, Sanna Marin, explains that the only way the west can avoid decades of war with Russia is to assure that Ukraine pushes Russia completely out of Ukrainian territory, including Crimea. "There isnt any other choice"

If Machado was trying to convince Trump that she was a strong leader who could handle Maduro’s thugs while keeping the oil flowing, giving Trump her prize was the exact opposite way to do that. What an epic fail allowing herself to be used like that by the charlatan.

University of Regina's Dr. @brianmcquinn.bsky.social and @marcuskolga.bsky.social say that Canada, like our Baltic allies in Europe, must prepare for what is looking increasingly like an inevitability: war with Russia. Read more in @ca.theconversation.com: bit.ly/45fI9g2

This is what criminals & soon-to-be-sanctioned dictators do: set up a cozy personal nest egg in a country that won't extradite them & has no agreements that would compel them to enforce other countries' sanctions. That's why sanctioned Russian oligarchs made a beeline for the UAE in 2022.

Last night,a Russian drone attacked a children's playground in Lviv&a residential building in Kyiv This morning,Russia attacked Mykolaiv region with a ballistic missile&a Russian drone flew over Kyiv,preparing for new attacks.It is -15 degrees today.They say that Russia is readier for peace...

Donald Trump is a criminal who should be in jail and not the White House. ICE is a band of lawless goons who shouldn't be allowed to carry guns or badges. And the citizens who peacefully protest the Administration's violence against our nation are the true patriots.

Once a cozy, peaceful Kupiansk. Today, a town that russia has turned into ruins and utter desolation 😢 When Kupiansk was liberated by the Ukrainian army, it was intact. Our forces did not bomb it to drive the enemy away. But years of daily Russian attacks followed.

⚡️ Kyiv energy crisis 'extremely serious,' as SBU presents evidence of Russian 'crimes against humanity.' President Volodymyr Zelensky on Jan. 14 declared a state of emergency in the energy sector.

Non-protesting dad just trying to hustle his kids, as young as 6mo, out of the neighborhood. ICE threw a flash-bang INTO HIS car, all 6 kids in the hospital now. If anyone wondered how things turn against occupying armies there's a case study playing out in front of you.

This is becoming pathological

European governments are beginning to respond to warnings about the possibility of a war with Russia. But few of the continent’s western countries have anything comparable to the war readiness of the Nordics, Baltics and Poland

Polish PM Tusk: “It is Russia who rejected the peace plan prepared by the US, not Zelensky. The only Russian response was more missile attacks on Ukrainian cities. That’s why the only solution is to increase pressure on Russia. And you all know it.”

Russia bombs Ukrainian civilians, causes a humanitarian crisis in Kyiv amidst freezing temperatures, and continues to demand unrealistic concessions. Yet somehow, Ukraine is the problem. Idiot.

President Volodymyr Zelensky has declared a state of emergency in the energy sector, with particular attention on Kyiv, which is reeling from Russian attacks that have left residents without power, heating, or water in subzero temperatures.

"This is the coldest winter I've ever known in this flat. Because of the cold, the blackouts, and the constant attacks, it's simply unlivable," said Anna Diachenko, 28, who left the building a few days ago after the mass attack. She's now staying with friends.

Every prediction the development industry made 20 years ago about the Greenbelt and what would happen to land/home prices has happened. And every prediction the McGuinty government made was wrong. @SabrinaMaddeaux & @MikepMoffatt get into it on today's episode of Classonomics.

What's the difference between most of us and Donald Trump? When someone screams "pedophile protector," most of us know it's not directed at us.

A Ukrainian drone has recorded a new buildup of Russian military equipment at the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, according to Southern Defense Forces spokesman Vladyslav Voloshyn. Russians are using the site to train drone operators and launch rocket attacks on Zaporizhzhia.
